I'm glad Indy is back to getting it right. I loved CART until George fucked up and made the IRL a "Murica'" fest. Those first few seasons were brutal. I remembering going to the 500 and it sounded like a redneck lawnmower rodeo.
With tears in my eyes, yes. not really, but watching live on tv is going to feel weird after being there 14 out of the last 15 years.
I must be cursed. I was/am a TK fan and picked up Rossi as my new guy a few years ago when TK was pretty much done. 15 more years of the TK 500 curse, I guess.
I thought it was an unsafe release, but it was bullshit to finish it under yellow (although I don't remember the rules). I'd have red flagged it and given last three laps under green.
My wife and I were glued in the last 15 laps, that wreck ended what was setting up to be a wild finish ohh well
True story, I flew back from NYC leg one with a dude who was going to pick up a car in Charlotte he'd bought, and who likely won't get to go to Canadian GP (F1). Second leg was me and the Firestone guys coming down from Indy for the race this weekend at Barber. Very cool.
